Okay, now everybody, take a deep breathe and push that voice up through your nasal cavities, and whine "I don't want to work today." Do we feel better? No, I didn't think so. Maybe it is all the rain, but I am in one of those, "I really would rather do anything than work" moods today. The mood is so prevalent that even if I was deeply engrossed by my job, I would want to do something else.
I would love to be curled up in a wing chair reading a book with a little Jazz playing in the background. I am trying to remember where I left off in the Colleen McCullough series on Caesar. I don't believe he has crossed the Rubicon yet. This is what happens when you don't pick up the book in six months; you can't remember where you left off. I believe I was also in the middle of another book.
I also imagine myself with plopped down on the sofa with my various arts and crafts. I would have the cross-stitch piece that I have been working on for at least one year now. My tatting needles and threads would be within reach. I might even pull out the quilling project which I just started. I could just go back and forth from craft to craft, and daydream of doing this for a living. At the same time, HGTV would be on as background noise, and I would be hoping that one of their few craft shows would air.
I also see two little children running around the house and jumping on top of me. Laughter would fill the air, punctuated by my voice saying "Watch your head!" Eventually, things would settle down, and perhaps we would open up a book. Fingers would be putting at pictures, and little heads would obstruct the view of the words, but everybody would be happy.
Instead I am stuck in front of my computer at work. Stuck in my cubicle where all kinds of voices busy at work can be heard. Left dreaming of the potential for a fun wonderful day. It could be worse. For now, I'll just have to maintain my work and daydream of what might have been.
